The Egyptian star wants to take revenge on the final lost four years ago against Merengue (3-1) and which he had to leave on wheat


Liverpool's steamroller against the eternal Real Madrid: the third Champions League final between these two European behemoths, on May 28 at the Stade de France (Seine-Saint-Denis), promises an epic battle with, in the background , the quest for a quadruple and that of the Ballon d'Or.

The Reds against the White House… The duo Mohamed Salah-Sadio Mané against the savior Karim Benzema.

The flamboyant Jürgen Klopp against the sober Carlo Ancelotti… Could European football dream of a better final for its prestigious C1?

The Stade de France in Saint-Denis, designated in place of the initial host, Saint-Petersburg, after the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, is therefore preparing to receive red and white cohorts of supporters, in which arguably stands as the peak of the 2021-22 season in world football.

The poster was barely known on Wednesday evening as the main players in the final have already promoted it.

“We have a score to settle,” wrote Egyptian international Mohamed Salah on his social networks after Real's miraculous qualification against Cityzens.

In 2018, the Reds lost to Zidane's Merengue (3-1).

The former Roma player left the pitch prematurely and in tears due to a left collarbone injury following a charge from Sergio Ramos.

We have a score to settle.

“I want to play against them, I have to be honest.

City are a really difficult team, we have played them a few times this season, he had already pointed out to BT Sport on Tuesday evening after qualifying for Villarreal.

But if you ask me my personal opinion, I would say Real Madrid.

Because we lost against them in the final, so I hope to play against them again and we will win.

Karim Benzema, for his part, preferred to retain the new feat rather than stir up the Anglo-Spanish rivalry.

“See you in France for the final”.

“A night full of emotions, he also wrote.

Very proud of this team and the madridistas.

Until the final!

A post shared by Karim Benzema (@karimbenzema)

Real is aiming for a 14th Champions League, which would make twice as many titles as its runner-up in history, AC Milan.

Liverpool dreams of lifting the Cup with big ears for the seventh time, after his last coronation in 2019 against Tottenham.

Between the two formations, it is also a beautiful one: the first final between the two clubs went into the hands of Liverpool, 1-0 in 1981;

the second therefore smiled on the people of Madrid four years ago.
